Here's an amusing eBay "rock": <http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2204998729&category=3239 > 2 1/2" x 4 1/4" x 2 1/4" weighing 8 lbs. So, let's do the math: Volume = 23.91 cubic inches = 392 cubic centimeters Mass = 3580 grams Density = 3580/392 = 9.13 g/cm^3 Yet the ad says the density is 6.5. (Maybe that's what he means when he says it's "Denser than what it should be.") ;-) The pictures aren't good enough for me to hazard a guess as to what it is (other than that it is certainly not a meteorite, as implied by the title). Given the kooky comments in the text of the auction, perhaps none of his numbers are reliable... --Rob ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
